2-year-old, 3 adults dead in Woodbridge stabbing
A Woodbridge family of four was found dead in their home from stab wounds from an apparent murder/suicide early Saturday morning, police said.
According to Prince William County Police, officers arrived on scene in the 3400 block of Vale Court and located four dead inside the home.
There was a man in his 40s, a woman in her 70s, a two-year-old and the presumed suspect — a woman in her 30s, who they believe was the child’s mother.
Everyone in the home was stabbed. They were discovered by an elderly man who lives in the basement. Police believe he’s the child’s grandfather
“Compare it to the worst possible nightmare you’ve ever had,” said Col. Peter Newsham, Prince William County’s Police Chief.
“We don’t know the exact cause or the motive in this case, but just to see a family destroyed like this is horrific,” Newsham said.
The investigation is ongoing.
